Financial Responsibility Agreement

Payment of Fees/Promise to Pay

I understand that when I register for any class at Kansas State University or receive any service from Kansas State University, I accept full responsibility to pay all tuition, fees and other associated costs assessed as a result of my registration and/or receipt of services. I further understand and agree that my registration and acceptance of these terms constitutes a promissory note agreement (i.e., a financial obligation in the form of an educational loan as defined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code at 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(8)) in which Kansas State University is providing me educational services, deferring some or all of my payment obligation for those services, and I promise to pay for all assessed tuition, fees and other associated costs by the published or assigned due date.

I understand and agree that if I drop or withdraw from some or all of the classes for which I register, I will be responsible for paying all or a portion of tuition and fees in accordance with the published tuition refund schedule at Kansas State University, http://www.k-state.edu/registrar/enroll/#REFUND. I have read the terms and conditions of the published tuition refund schedule and understand those terms are incorporated herein by reference. I further understand that my failure to attend class or receive a bill does not absolve me of my financial responsibility as described above.

I understand and agree that if I am younger than the applicable age of majority when I execute this agreement that the educational services provided by Kansas State University are a necessity, and I am contractually obligated pursuant to the “doctrine of necessaries.”

Delinquent Account/Collection

Financial Hold: I understand and agree that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and owing Kansas State University by the scheduled due date, Kansas State University will place a financial hold on my student account, preventing me from registering for future classes, requesting transcripts, or receiving my diploma.

Late Payment Charge: I understand and agree that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and owing Kansas State University by the scheduled due date, Kansas State University will assess late payment and/or finance charges at the rate of 1.5% per month on the past due portion of my student account until my past due account is paid in full.

Collection Agency Fees: I understand and accept that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and owing Kansas State University by the scheduled due date, and fail to make acceptable payment arrangements to bring my account current, Kansas State University may refer my delinquent account to a collection agency. I further understand that I am responsible for paying the collection agency fee, together with all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, necessary for the collection of my delinquent account. Finally, I understand that my delinquent account may be reported to one or more of the national credit bureaus.
